I am trying ot generate tree. But i tried

<?php echo GenerateNavHTML($navarray);  ?>

and function GenerateNavHTML

<?php 

function GenerateNavHTML($nav)
{ 

    $html = '';
    foreach($nav as $page)
    {
        $html.='<ul><li>';    

        $html .= '<a href="#">k</a>';
        $html .= GenerateNavHTML($page['sub']);
        $html .= '</li></ul>';
    }
    return $html;
}

   ?>

And my output is

<ul style="display: block;" class="nav">
    <li class="test"><a href="">add</a>
    </li>
</ul><ul style="display: block;" class="nav"><li class="test"><a href="">occupations</a><ul style="display: block;" class="nav"><li class="test"><a href="">test</a><ul style="display: block;" class="nav"><li class="test"><a href="">testnew</a></li></ul></li></ul><ul style="display: block;" class="nav"><li class="test"><a href="">add</a></li></ul></li></ul>

but i am expecting this output.

<ul style="display: block;" class="nav">
    <li class="test">
    <li class="test">
        <a class="parent" href="#">Shoes</a>
        <ul>
            <li>
                <a class="parent" href="#">Womens</a>
                <ul>
                    <li><a href="#">Sandals</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">Sneakers</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">Wedges</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">Heels</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">Loafers</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#" class="last" >Flats</a></li>
                </ul>
            </li>
            <li>
                <a class="parent last"  href="#">Mens</a>
                <ul>
                    <li><a href="#">Loafers</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">Sneakers</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">Formal</a></li>
                </ul>
            </li>
        </ul>
    </li>
    </ul>
Can anybody tell what logic i need to change

Try this

<?php 

function GenerateNavHTML($nav)
{ 
    if(!empty($nav)) {

          if(isset($nav[0]['parent'])) {
                 $parentid=$nav[0]['parent'];
          }else{
              $parentid=1;
          }
         if($parentid==0) {
             $html = '<ul style="display: block;" class="nav">';
         }else {
             $html='<ul>';
         }
           foreach($nav as $page) {
                $html.='<li>';    
                $html .= '<a href="#">k</a>';
                $html .= GenerateNavHTML($page['sub']);
                $html .= '</li>';
            }
            $html.='</ul>';
            return $html;
     }
}

   ?>

Answer 2

try to do this:

<?php 

function GenerateNavHTML($nav)
{ 
    $html = '<ul>';
    foreach ($nav as $page) {
        $html.='<li>';
        $html .= '<a href="#">k</a>';
        $html .= GenerateNavHTML($page['sub']);
        $html .= '</li>';
    }

    $html .= '</ul>';
    return $html;
}

Answer 3

Can you try this method :

function GenerateNavHTML($nav)
{
    if (empty ($nav))
        return;

    $html = '';
    $html.='<ul>';

        foreach($nav as $page)
        {
            $html.='<li>';
                $html .= '<a href="#">'.$page["name"].'</a>';
                $html .= GenerateNavHTML($page['sub']);
            $html .= '</li>';
        }

    $html.='</ul>';

    return $html;
}

Get the ul tag out of the for each loop.
